Yesterday our third platform meeting since last January brought together presidents or their representatives of 11 member and observer associations to talk about the current and future evolution of scholarly academies of management and their activities around the world.

AIMS Stratégie ANZAM AODN Association Sénégalaise des Sciences de Gestion ASSG Association Tunisienne de comptabilité British Academy of Management CNEMA EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT JABA Laos NIEM Società Italiana di Management

The focus was on learning more about and directly from five online platforms and providers members are relying on for 2021 and going forward. Thanks so much to all!

Federation member Academy of Management also kindly shared information on its platform.

The rich conversation centered around the following issues: platforms’ functionalities, ease of use and user’s experience, cost, security, ecological/environmental impact,…

Participants decided to meet again late August/early September to share the 2021 summer experiences and further discuss the economics of the online conferences and the financial consequences for our learned societies.

(This meeting was prepared and facilitated by Patrick Reinmoeller, director of the office of our presidential team, with the kind assistance of Martinelli Elisa, our deputy secretary.)
